FioreSelvaticoI felt like Christian needed someone who can understand what is happening inside his head, we will just have to wait and see if Aiden can be of help. Leave your thoughts in the comments...

Blinded By Love Chapter 18 - I am falling for her
…I shot him a look, irritated. "I’m not stumped," I said. "I’m... overwhelmed. She’s unlike anyone I’ve ever met." Aiden raised an eyebrow, clearly interested. "Okay, okay. I’m intrigued. Go on. Where did you meet her?" Perhaps I saw her in a dream and pulled her out into this world just for me... but no I had a street robber to thank for that. "I helped her when she got mugged... after that, I offered her a job. She is somewhat of a guide for Sebastian. Working with him, in my own house. Everyday." My own personal torture device. "Wait, she works with Sebastian? Like he actually agreed to have her stay. She must be something special to get through to him." Clearly, he is already impressed, after all, he knows Sebastian. We three were inseparable even tho Seb was older than us, he was always there to get us out of trouble... out of danger. Until I pushed the bar too far and he paid the price. "Well the circumstances were different with her, she helps him in her own special way sinc

Love's POV"Now you stay here, ok Charlie?" I said as I pointed to a pillow on the floor while Charlie looked at me with his confused puppy eyes. "I left you with enough water and food so please no barking... otherwise we will all be homeless in no time.""I dont think he can understand you Love," Mira says as she picks up her bag and walks over to the couch to put on her shoes."You were the one who brought him here Mira, maybe you should explain the rules to him," I say joking and Mira smiles as Charlie runs to her feet."Now do you see how much love he has brought to this place, it feels so much warmer with him here." She says as she plays with him. "It's not for nothing people often go for support animals, they read us better than humans. Dont you, Charlie? Dont you?" I watch as Mira crouches down, Charlie wagging his tail furiously as she scratches behind his ears. His eyes gleam up at her, full of adoration, his small body practically vibrating with happiness.Support animals? No

Mira’s words echo in my head...“You’re already in love with him, Love.” I try to push them away, but they cling to me, impossible to ignore. If there was ever a good time to stop being a dreamer it's now, because Christian is a dream I can allow myself to fall under. Maybe I could be one of those lovers who love from afar, from the safe distance where they hear it the strongest. "Miss Bennett, " the driver called out to me as he held the car door wide open while I was lost in my thoughts. To him, I was a blind person, so he must not have thought much about my slow reaction. "Yes, sorry. I got a bit stuck inside my head." I say as I bend my cane and get into the car, the hum of the engine the only sound accompanying my thoughts. I go back to the idea of a service dog for Sebastian. He needs friends who better than someone who would always be there, always loyal, always present. A wagging tail, and that comforting, grounding presence. It might be exactly what he needs. Someone who can

“What are you doing here?” I ask as I take off my sunglasses, my voice a bit harsher than I intended. I can't possibly understand what kind of police emergency would have her in a support dog training facility. Do they train police dogs here also? Tamara raises an eyebrow at my sharp tone, but she doesn't flinch. Instead, she crosses her arms and looks me over, her police uniform tightening against her shoulders while trying to gauge what’s going on behind my sudden outburst. “I could ask you the same thing,” she replies, a teasing glint in her eyes that doesn’t quite reach the concern buried underneath. “But, since you’re so curious, my TO is teaching me a lesson on..." Her eyes slid down to the cane in my hands. The confusion on her face is evident. She tilts her head slightly, studying me, and then her gaze shifts back up to meet mine, more focused now. "Why are you walking around with a cane for blind people?" She asks and I glance back to make sure that the driver is far enough

"I think we made the right choice," Christian says as we exit the facility with a Golden Retriever on a lease. Marley was the first dog that ran up to my legs the second we entered the room. I can't believe I even lied to the dogs when all I wanted was to drop on the floor and start playing with them. And pretending to be blind in a place filled with people associated with real blind people made me nervous, afraid they would be able to see through me. Perhaps I was just still under the impression after Tamara found out about my lies. "Hey," Christian says, his voice gentle as he falls in step beside me."You okay?" I force a smile but I dont look at him, trying to push the panic away. "Yeahh." I bite my tongue at the informal tone I took. "Yes, Mr.Callahan. I just got a little lost in my thoughts... wondering how your brother will react to Marley... I'm excited." Lie. I lie to you again. Even if it's a small thing now, it adds to the pile that one day will outgrow me. "Sebastian will
Last Updated : 2024-12-25Blinded By Love Chapter 23 - Mr.Callahan...
Suddenly the air in the car feels thick, suffocating. I glance out the window, trying to find something to focus on, anything to distract me from the tension building between us. But there's nothing that can help me escape this. "Mr.Callahan..." "Christian. Call me Christian, please." He says. His request somehow makes everything feel more personal, more real. Christian. The name hangs in the air, a soft plea in the midst of all the chaos swirling in my mind. "I dont think I can do that," I say, the words leaving my mouth before I can stop them. They feel harsh in the quiet of the car, cutting through the air like a sudden gust of wind. Christian's expression doesn’t change, but I can feel the shift in the atmosphere. He doesn’t push me, but his eyes flicker briefly to me before returning to the road, his jaw tightening just slightly. "It's how I want you to see me. Not just as Mr. Callahan, not just as your boss. I don’t want that distance between us." But I do. It's the only thin
Last Updated : 2024-12-26Blinded By Love Chapter 24 - Who the fuck is Charlie?
Christian's POV As we step inside, the door clicking shut behind us, the room's warmth does little to settle the cold pit growing in my stomach. My head kept spinning as if I perhaps had pushed too much on Love's walls. If only she knew how much courage it took me to open up my mouth, and still all I offer is a friendship when I could tell Love knew what my true intentions were. Perhaps it scares her... perhaps she was hurt in the past... Perhaps, and one I truly hope wasn't the case, she just wasn't into me. Ahhh, I wish I knew what she was thinking. At the risk of sounding blunt, I wanted to crack open her head and learn everything that makes her her the fastest way because this was torture. Perhaps Aiden's advice wasn't the best one. What if pushing against Love's walls only makes them grow higher? "Love, dear... There you are." Mother says, her tone warm as she walks towards us, wrapping her arms around Love and kissing her on the cheek. I knew I wasn't the only one who wouldn't

Who the hell was Charlie? I didn’t want to look too eager, but it was like I was hearing something that shouldn’t matter, but the curiosity clawed at me. "How about we make it a celebratory lunch instead, that way Love can be here." Sebastian cuts through my thoughts. "That works for me." Her voice chirped as she extended her hand to touch Marley's back, her delicate fingers ran through his fur, and never in my life have I ever wanted to be a dog more. "Thank you for everything, Love," Sebastian said again, his voice steady but filled with gratitude. "This means more than I can say." She smiled, a soft, humble expression washed over her angelic face as she retrieved her hand and wrapped her palm against her cane. "You dont need to thank me. Just focus on what is in front of you. And right now I think Marley is up for a walk. How about we show him around, I'm sure he is going to love the garden." She didn’t seek any praise or recognition. Why? What made her so humble? I knew

Ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two, one... HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!Everyone cheered at the time of saying goodbye to the old year and welcomed the new while watching the spectacular fireworks. I smiled, hugged my friends, and then turned to Christian, whose eyes sparkled with something deeper than just the reflection of the fireworks. The energy in the room was electric, everyone buzzing with the excitement of a fresh start.This was my new start. Ours.I felt his arms wrap around me as he pulled me close, his breath warm against my ear. "Happy New Year, Angel," he whispered, his voice sending a shiver down my spine. "Happy New Year," I replied softly, my fingers grazing his jawline as I lifted my face to meet his tho I was still scared of meeting his eyes. I feared that if we connected he would know that his Angel was a liar. I put all of my faith in Grace and that she had a way of getting me out of this even if this lie hung over my head for the rest of my life."I thin
Blinded By Love Chapter 66 - It was so easy to be happy
Love's POVIt was so easy to be happy.It was easy not to think about anything else that wasn't Christian, to allow myself to be fully consumed by him and everything that he is. His smile and the look in his eyes were all too much, and yet, they were everything I ever wanted. I could lose myself in him and not mind it at all.His touch became everything I craved and I knew that soon enough I would be addicted to him, in the best... and worst way possible."It seems everyone abandoned our table," Christian says as we walk back into the ballroom, hand in hand, fingers interlocked, and I can’t help but smile, the warmth of his hand grounding me."They must be close by." I say as I see Tam approaching with Mira right behind her. They seemed tense, well Tam seemed tense Mira had that posture she did when she pretended everything was fine when it wasn't."Ohh here come your friends... do you mind if I leave you just for a second, I promised Seb I would save him from Mother's friends and I k
Blinded By Love Chapter 65 - Hell of a ride
My mind races as I stare at the message on my phone Until we meet again. I can feel my pulse quicken, the earlier adrenaline rush settling into a simmering confusion and anger. How could he have gotten my number? And why do I feel like I’ve just been played, even though I’m supposed to be the one in control here?I glance around the room, as though expecting him to reappear from the crowd, his sharp eyes locking onto mine once again, but there’s nothing. No sign of him. Not even his men. It’s like they were never here at all, as if they melted into the shadows, vanishing without a trace."Can we go now?" Tamara asks as she reapers behind my back."What?" I ask before I can read the angry face that event that beautiful mask couldn't hide. "It's not New Year yet, there is still an hour until midnight.""I lost my good mood." She says."Why? Who called you?" I ask."My TO." Uhh no. "Your new friend must have done something.""First of all he is not my friend, tell me what happened." She
Blinded By Love Chapter 64 - I get the feeling you like trouble
"You think I would be willing to put myself in the hands of a criminal?" I ask and Tamara’s expression doesn’t flicker. She meets my gaze with a calm, almost bored like she’s been expecting this question."It's about layers Mira. You might not fall for the criminal part... but what about the handsome part or the generous part..." She says as she glances at the necklace. "Perhaps you would fall for the part where he makes donations to hospitals, or funds the schools, cleans the streets, and builds workplaces... You Mira could fall for the gentleman part of him to the point that the criminal thing wouldn't bother you so much... because that is who you are Mira, you put things on a scale and pick the lesser evil, even when you dont want to admit it." Her words settle like a stone in my stomach. Damn her for knowing me so well."But if you already know all of this about him, about the people that work for him... why did you want to come to this party then?" I ask Tamara. She called me car
Blinded By Love Chapter 63 - Untouchable
Mira's POVLove and Christian left the table and from the corner of my eye, I could see them disappear from the public eye while I was left at the table feeling like a sitting duck while everyone's eyes rested on me. More specifically on the thing hanging around my neck. Why did he do that? Who in their right mind gives away such a valuable thing to a stranger?"Girls will you excuse us for a moment, I know it's a bit rude to leave you in an unknown aviromant but Sebastian and I have some hoseting to do. I'm sure you understand." Grace says as she gets up and walks over to her son. I'm still trying to read her, from what Love has told me about her she seems a good person... with things to hide. People who tend to help others keep secrets are usually the ones who are the best at hiding their own. I would know.There’s a certain air of mystery around Grace, the way she holds herself it’s almost as if she’s always thinking two steps ahead, anticipating the reactions of everyone around he
Blinded By Love Chapter 62 - Angel
The cool night air hits my skin as Christian leads me out onto the balcony, the sounds of the ballroom fading into the distance. I shiver slightly, but it's not from the cold it's because of him."Where were we? I thought we were still at the party. Or did you transport me to another planet?" My nerves make my mouth says the worst joke if one could even call it that."Uhh that would be a great power to have but for now I'll have to be happy with that I can whisk you away even if it's just a simple balcony..." He says as he touches my cheek so elegantly, so tenderly that it almost feels like being grazed by a feather. "Any place, any time is more special with you." I let my face fall into his palms as his words made my knees weak."Do you want me to melt?" I ask, my eyes closed, simply enjoying having him so close. Christian chuckles softly, the sound deep and warm, vibrating through me like a pleasant hum. His touch is steady, grounding me as his hands gently cradle my face. "If I wan
Blinded By Love Chapter 61 - One hell of a talk
Love's POVI laugh at Christian stories about the wealthy society and the secrets they hide between them, who knew they were as mortal as the rest of us when he saw Mira walk back into the ballroom and he had to give up his seat?"Took you long enough, the final piece is here," Tamara says to Mira as she comes back to the table and sits down."Yeah well, I just had an encounter with your favorite criminal," Mira whispers as she glances at the table where Mr.DeLuca is taking a seat himself. Between the conversation with Grace and Christian, I didn't even notice his absence."What? Why would he talk to you?" Tamara asks surprised."Perhaps because I am an extremely beautiful woman," Mira says ironically as Grace and Christan watch as the last jewel is brought into the room, covered with a red, silky sheet. "I dont know why, Tam. He was just there when I left the restroom. I have to say, up close and even with that mask he is quite striking." She whispered. I could see the curiosity in h
Blinded By Love Chapter 60 - Have we met before?
Mira's POVI swear one could live in one of these restrooms, it's almost, almost the size of my last crapy apartment we luckily dont have to stay in anymore. The real luck is never seeing the landlord's face again because otherwise I would get highly motivated to use my medical practice for the wrong reasons. So thank you, Christian.I took off my mask and studied my reflection in the mirror, eyes running over the familiar face, but something felt different tonight I barely recognized the person looking back. Especially not in this dress that came straight out of a movie... God how good it would be to live like this every day... they say money doesn't buy happiness but boy does it help.I couldn’t help but laugh softly at the irony of it all. Just a few months ago, I was counting pennies, hoping I’d make it through the next day. And now I’m standing in a room full of people who are the pennies, the ones with the power, the money, the history that means something. They weren't like me,
Blinded By Love Chapter 59 - Promise
The atmosphere between us shifts immediately like a switch being flipped. Christian’s voice, low and steady, holds an undeniable weight. He holds me closer, his arms wrapping around me in a way that feels protective, almost possessive. I take a deep breath, feeling the gentle sway of the dance floor beneath us, the music filling the spaces between us, and my mind races. Christian’s eyes remain steady, his expression full of hope... even more so he seems sure that my answer is going to be positive."Christian... ye..." "Good evening ladies and gentlemen." A woman's voice suddenly interrupts us as the music suddenly ends and everyone turns. "We oh so hope that you are having a wonderful time at the gala yet I'm here to ask you to return to your seats as the fundraiser auction is about to start. I would also like to remind you all that all the funds collected here will be distributed to countless medical research facilities and in the names of those who will shortly have better health c
